In today’s show Susanne
Nielsen and her colleague, journalist Renate Schauer discuss the importance of
fairy-tales for the building of moral values such as truth, love, honor, and
justice. Children especially need to know that they will be protected by all
that is good and that their hope for justice can be trusted. As adults living
by the moral codes of law they strive to uphold these values and yet, realize
the limitations of such a promise. Susanne and Renate hope you think back to
your own childhood fairy-tales and their impact they had.
